Thomas Heywood - Top of the Stops!

In this WORLD-FIRST FEATURE-LENGTH PRESENTATION, explore the incredible world of the concert organ in stunning South Australia.

Enjoy over two hours with the "acknowledged master", Thomas Heywood, as you are taken on an illustrated tour of the concert organ tradition. This spectacular presentation in full surround sound is a feast for the senses over 6 years in the making and well worth the wait!

From wheat to sheep, from vineyards to the Adelaide Oval, you will also see and hear a programme of musical delights from Operas, Symphonies, Sonatas, Marches and Concertos.

Be dazzled by Thomas Heywood’s "legendary" performances on one of the finest historic musical instruments in the southern hemisphere - the 1929 Grand Organ in St Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide - the untouched 4-manual "sister" organ to the Grand Concert Organ in the Melbourne Town Hall, originally built by the same organ builders at the same time!

In addition to lavish views showing the amazing variety of pipes and the complex workings of the organ behind the facade, see the inner mechanism of the historic 4-manual organ console as never before - the largest example of its kind left anywhere in the world.
